What is contributory negligence?

[@XO2HKIM]

My buse law professor has us watch a lot of interactive videos for each chapter as opposed to reading long-dry chapters and your videos are my absolute favorite! Great speed of delivery, clarity, and illustrations!

Contributory Negligence= get out of jail free for bootlicking corporations. "He woke up this he must have done something to contribute!!!"

Exactly! I'm unfortunately in one of 4 states that still does Contributory Negligence where if you're found even 1% at fault, you get nothing. I was involved in a car accident where there was a company vehicle out in most of the lane of travel. It was around 6am, it was still dark outside, I was traveling on a curve at around 40mph, I saw the vehicle, I swerved to miss the vehicle, and I still made contact unfortunately. I was in the Hospital for 23 days, and my medical bills are over $600,000 from the accident. The other side says there was no vehicle coming in the other lane coming at me, so their claim is despite it being a double solid yellow lines, I should've had enough time to completely avoid the vehicle. I'm afraid the jury will find me somewhat at fault now. Oh well. Thankfully I live in North Carolina, where the Hospital can't garnish my wages for medical bills, and my bank accounts can't be frozen either, so I'm not worried about myself financially. Edit: I want to buy a house one day, but I'm afraid this medical debt will prevent me from buying a house. I can still buy a house, and I plan on figuring out ways to get this medical debt reduced, and find resources that will help pay the rest, otherwise the Hospital and I can agree on a monthly payment, and then they can still send it to collections, and then I can get sued, they can win, and then they can take the house. I do need to get the agreement in writing though, I will do that.

[@seemapareek3307]

helpful thank you sir

[@seemapareek3307]

A question to ask you sir... That both will pay equally for the damage caused due to negligence

[@USLawEssentials]

States have different rules addressing situations where the plaintiff's own carelessness contributed to the injury. In some states a person's percentage of fault will decrease his recovery.by that amount. For example, plaintiff is 10% at fault so damages are reduced by 10%. In some states if plaintiff's degree of fault exceeds the defendant's degree of fault the plaintiff recovers nothing.

[@mahjabeennisa5506]

is its law if tort or law of torts

[@mahjabeennisa5506]

is answer chahiye

[@zainuladedeen406]

Salmond according law of torts Winfield tort

[@charles489]

What if the plaintiff has 0.1% responsible? Does plaintiff get anything?

[@peabods37]

Is this a real question?

[@chriscockrell9495]

Contributory negligence. You get nothing. (States don't use this much anymore)
